I use a SamsungFit watch and it would amazing to have the app work on the watch, as i use it mostly for workouts and i could leave my phone in the locker.

I was wondering whether you are or would be developing an Apple / android watch app so we can save every set on our watch and see the next set similar to what you can do with music where you see the title, play / fast forward and rewind from your watch.

This would be fantastic!

I use an Apple Watch. Would be nice to be able to start and end my workout on my watch and log reps as I go.


it would also be nice if it was also collecting heart rate volume at the same time, and calculated an estimated calorie burn based on both heart rate data and total volume lifted.

that said - it would still need to sync in real time with a phone so that more details could be referenced on the phone (like previous 1RM, videos, etc)

Is this online? How can I activate this?

Planned

It was, briefly. Then Apple updated its Watch OS, and our code platform (Microsoft Xamarin) didn't follow suit. We're keeping a close eye and as soon as it's available, we'll release our watch app again.

Oh, I didn't know people still used that. If you ever have the resources, I'd look into Flutter perhaps - not sure if it supports WatchOS apps though tbh.

It would be nice if the app worked on my Apple Watch and I could use my watch to record rep sets.
